I wasn’t sure what to do with today’s prompt in the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. For me, “Indian” is more about the sub-continent of India than Native American Indians because I’ve travelled in India a couple of times. So I did at least get that far, but then I got a bit stuck.

I’ve not done chevron nails before, but I do love to create taped nails, so this prompt for the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge was a good one for me. It wasn’t quite so easy to pick out some colours. I knew I wanted to do three sections, with the chevron pointing towards my […] Read more
Today in the the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge, it’s all about doing some nail art with your oldest untried polish. I have four polishes that I bought on the same day – back in September 2012 – that are still unused. I bought them all in The Original Factory Shop. I thought they […] Read more
I really enjoyed this manicure that I created for day 6 of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. Finally, I am wearing a manicure on all of my nails – not just four – and I will be keeping it on for several days, rather than swiftly removing it after deciding I don’t like […] Read more
Oh there really are some prompts in this challenge that I loathe. So far, Mexican nails is the worst and has caused me no end of problems. I started off by trying sugar skulls. I have usually only seen these done on a white or black base, but I had the great idea – or […] Read more

My two most recent polish purchases are L’Oréal Color Riche Amazon Flower and NYC Blue Sky (which, like every other bottle of it I’ve ever seen, is mis-labelled as Raindrop). As the two newest, they are swatched next to each other on a nail wheel. I thought they complemented each other nicely, so chose them […] Read more
My most used polish is a bottle of Revlon All Fired Up. I am fairly certain that the polish was unique to Boots, and it was one of only about twelve polishes that I owned before I became rather obsessed with this little hobby of mine and before I started to keep my nails painted. […] Read more
Today is the first day of the Crumpet’s Nail Tarts 33 Day Challenge. I’ll be posting my challenge manicures three times a week on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday for the next eleven weeks. I’ve not taken part in a challenge before, so I’m rather excited. But I’m also a bit daunted by some […] Read more
